Move with a plan — then keep it healthy
Cloud Migration & Optimization
A migration is a project with a deadline; staying cost-effective afterwards is a discipline. Scalenta plans and runs workload migrations — and then keeps reviewing sizing, performance and spend so the move keeps making sense.
Overview
Migrations fail quietly: the dependency nobody documented, the licence that does not transfer, the workload that was cheap on old hardware and expensive in the cloud. Planning is not paperwork — it is where migrations are won.
Scalenta starts with assessment, moves in controlled waves with rollback points, and validates each step before the next. After the move, we keep the environment honest: reviewing utilisation, performance and cost rather than assuming the original plan was perfect.
Scope
What this covers
Assessment & discovery
A real inventory of workloads, dependencies, integrations and constraints — the list that decides whether a migration succeeds.
Migration planning
Waves, sequencing, cutover windows and rollback points, planned around your business calendar.
Execution
Lift-and-shift where that is right, re-platforming where it pays — with validation after every stage.
Post-migration validation
Functional checks, performance baselines and decommission planning, so the old world actually goes away.
Right-sizing & cost review
Utilisation data turned into instance, storage and licensing decisions — regularly, not once.
Performance tuning
Bottlenecks chased after the move, while the architecture is still fresh.
Approach
How we work on this
- STEP 01
Discover
Workload inventory, dependency mapping, and an honest view of what should move, what should not, and what should be retired.
- STEP 02
Plan & approve
A wave plan with cutovers, rollbacks and responsibilities — approved by you before anything moves.
- STEP 03
Migrate & optimise
Controlled execution, validation after each wave, then ongoing sizing and cost reviews.
What good looks like
Outcomes we aim for
- Every migration starts with a discovery inventory, not a quote.
- Waves with rollback points — not a single high-risk weekend.
- A written answer to 'should this workload move at all?'
- Post-move reviews that keep cost and performance honest.
